On Sundays, the streets of Herrom were mostly quiet for the rest of the day, except near the solemn temple of the Knights of Silence.

Soon, the silence was broken by footsteps in the distance, and two figures, a man and a woman, quickly passed through the front square of the temple.

They did not have the typical attire of the Temple of the Knights of Annihilation, the young man in the long coat had a calm gaze but was fixed on the clock, while the woman in the silver skirt armor followed him with a leisurely expression.

After confirming the time, the two of them invariably quickened their pace, as if something important was driving them.

As they approached the gate, the two dark gray knights in armor guarding the door slashed their spears across the way.

Ranch didn't slow down, looking directly into the knight's eyes, using his gaze to engage in a silent conversation with the other party.

I don't know if it's because of this natural momentum or because he saw the appearance of the two clearly, the guard knight quickly reacted and let them go, no longer blocking the way of the two masters.

The minarets and stone walls of the temple were cold and hard, while the halls inside were filled with bright light.

In the depths of the Temple of the Knights of Silence, behind the heavy oak door lies a large conference hall.

The height of the dome is designed as an intricate arch that imbues the space with majesty, with high windows lining the walls of the walls with heavy lead bars and hand-crafted stained glass, through which sunlight pours in to create dappled light and shadows, as if time and history are intertwined in the room.

In the center of the room was a round table made of rare imperial ebony, with a polished surface as smooth as a mirror, surrounded by rows of high-backed chairs upholstered in dark leather, and several figures were already seated.

In addition to the other final candidates, on one side of the round table, a man in a dark gray suit and two archpriests sat in the robes characteristic of the Order of Annihilation, with the holy seal pendant surrounded by purple light hanging from his chest.

“……”

Sandel's direct soldier had a grim face, holding a few documents and materials in his hands, his gaze passed through the hall, as if he could read everyone's thoughts at a glance, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table, like a conductor waiting for the right moment.

Although it seemed that the meeting could have started early, it was clear that key participants had not yet arrived.

All eyes were on Sandel from time to time, waiting for his judgment as the host.

There are still a few tens of seconds left before the scheduled time.

If the two worst guys still haven't arrived, the meeting should go on and wait.

When the silence in the conference room lasted for a long time, the door was opened again, and two figures walked in one after another.

They don't look like the most vicious people, and they are clearly out of step with the butchers, arsonists, death singers, and eyeball-goers in this room.

Sandel's direct soldier looked up at the two of them and didn't say much.

Until Lanchi and Sid were seated in the eyes of everyone.

"Today's meeting is very short, about 10 minutes to resolve."

Sundell leaned back in his chair and said as he briefly looked at the papers in his hand.

First of all, according to the ritual and process, after signing the contract, the two archpriests issued the elite priest-level [Certificate of Resurrection - Silence] and the rule manual that the priests of the Silence Branch need to follow to officially join the Silence Branch.

"When you accept this holy seal, you need to know that although it is not stated in the contract, if you choose to betray the Bishop of Silence one day, the consequences will be never-ending revenge and hunting, understand?"

Sandel's voice was cold, the corners of his mouth drooped slightly, and there was no trace of a smile at all.

The thugs in the room all nodded in acknowledgement.

This was something they had figured out before they joined.

"Your work is more free in the future, there is not much logistics work that needs your help in the imperial capital of Herrom recently, but at present, there is actually a great shortage of manpower in the north, and this is also a great opportunity for you......"

Xander opened his mouth and continued,

"In the next month, you can set off and return at any time, it is best to go in groups of two or three to the northern provinces of the empire to investigate and track down the inner ghosts mixed in with the Ethertelan Kingdom, the local branch will help you, and maybe you can make a lot of achievements, and it is not impossible to be directly promoted to the Great Priest or even a direct soldier."

"Of course, it is okay to act alone, but you need to make a special declaration to me, because you have to hand over the work with the northern branch, and go to the north of the close battle line alone, there is a possibility of being targeted by the senior agents of the Ethertelan Kingdom or even dropping the bag, and two or three people will make a trip, which will greatly reduce the cost of contact, the probability of accidents, and the difficulty of identifying and confirming the identity of the northern branch."

"Once you have decided on the itinerary, you can declare it to us, and we will arrange the travel expenses, accommodation and expenses that may need to be paid in advance, but you don't have to worry about the funds, what you need to worry about is to return empty-handed."

“……”

After listening to Sandel's speech, most of the people present had already exchanged a lot of eyes.

In the final assessment, almost all of them have a fixed partner, so there is no doubt about the following.

The only difference is that-

Whether or not to win over those two best guys.

They all seem to be people who like to go it alone.

But there is no doubt about the strength and severity of the situation.

However.

Before the other thugs could make up their minds, Ranch and Sid had already looked at each other, and then went directly to Sandel and began to fill in the itinerary, it seemed that they had already become each other's chosen partners, and even the work in the north had decided to go together.

And just like after the retest, the two of them didn't stay for a second after finishing their errands, and they both left directly.

There was a long silence in the conference room.

"Why do these two seem to be on such a good relationship?"

Not only the other villains who were still stunned, but even the two archpriests were worried, and asked the direct soldiers of Sandel on the side.

These two extremely self-conscious guys should be incompatible types, both horizontally and vertically.

Just trying to reach a cooperation, negotiate who is the boss, and who has the final say, should be able to make their negotiations break down directly.

"It's okay, don't worry, that's normal."

Xander smiled indifferently.

Just wait for the two of them to kill each other.

This is a good sign.

The archergy on both sides quickly came to their senses and understood what Sandel meant.

Neither of these guys is a good thing, and it is impossible for them to form a relationship of mutual trust.

And this kind of cunning villain wants to solve the opponent, and there is a high probability that he will not do it directly.

It must be pretending to be friendly and assassinating each other at a critical moment!

On the contrary, it is not threatening.

……

And the other side.

The road to the square stretched out from the massive entrance of the Temple of the Knights of Silence, and the buildings on both sides of the road seemed low and empty.

The two were no longer in the same hurry as they had come, but walked a few streets together until they reached the corner, and then the direction was different.

"Then we'll see you tomorrow."

West Germany raised his hand.

"Do I need to pretend I don't know you when I see you at school?"

Lan Qi also waved his hand and asked.

"It's okay, just talk to me naturally."

Sid smiled and turned to leave.

Ranchi nodded, and without a pause, continued along the road towards the Royal Academy of Magic of Protos to the south.

I'm going to move to the school temporarily tomorrow to experience the campus life that I haven't seen for a long time, but it's a characteristic of the North Continent.

After turning a few street corners, there were more and more figures around, and unconsciously, the little black cat in his shadow also jumped out again and got into his arms.

"Meow meow! I don't want to play with you anymore!! ”

The cat boss rolled and made a fuss.

When he was the Holy Son of the Tyrant, he lurked and annihilated the branch, and he had to go to the north of the empire with the Tyrant Catholic Sect to toss, and he couldn't wash it clean!

"But boss cat, do you want to keep you in the imperial capital, will you be safe? The entire Protos Empire is a little weird, and if we still follow Ichrita's common sense, we may be beaten as a cultist and imprisoned on the spot......"

Hearing this, Lan Qi calmly explained the version to the cat boss.

"Meow this ......"

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that no matter where he stays in the imperial capital, it is better to continue to stay by Lanch's side, because the Catholic Church will indeed protect him.

"I'll say okay first, I didn't join the Resurrection Church!"

The cat boss solemnly declares.

As long as this kid is on the wanted warrant and he is not on him, then it will be fine.

"I know, I know, you just stay in my shadow."

Ranch patted it and strolled down the street,

"Alas, boss cat, you say, why is it so natural for some people to disguise themselves as girls, and why are some guys so funny when they disguise themselves as girls?"

“……”

"Who are you satirizing?"

Boss Cat looked up at Lanch.

It felt like Ranch didn't mention a name the whole time, but he didn't leave a name.

But it didn't know who Ranch was referring to.

It stands to reason that none of the women he knew liked to disguise their age as low except for West Germany.

Ranch smiled but didn't say anything.

There are some things that God knows, cats know what he knows, ideas, pay attention to a free and easy.
